The moonstone horse

                                                            PART 1

once in a great palace lived a girl named princess sky. princess sky looked out of her window and up at the stars. she couldn't sleep. "I'll just go visit my favorite rosebush," she said sleepily. she opened a drawer next to her bed and pulled out a lantern. she tiptoed down the stairs. she opened a drawer and took a pack of matches. she would use them to light the lantern. she went through the kitchen and dining room. than she went out the back door towards the rosebush. while she was looking at it she noticed part of a figure poking out of the leaves. it looked like a horse head. she walked towards it. she pushed through the leaves of the rosebush. there stood a white horse statue made of moonstone. there was a small plaque. it said: in remembrance of the first queen of Acalavar's horse moonstone. she took a step forward. she placed a hand on the horse's head. immediately, the horse disappeared. the horse was gone! "horse! come back horse!" she called. there was no reply. none at all. fine. the horse isn't even real.It doesn't matter, she thought. "Not real. Not real! I'm here! right here!" said a voice. sky turned to find a white horse standing in the grass beyond the fence. "you can read my thoughts!" she said, staring at the horse. "it's hard though," the horse replied. "I'm moonstone, by the way," the white horse said, now talking normally. Sky froze. was she actually talking to a horse? moonstone stared at Sky. she trotted forward. Sky placed her hand on the horse's soft head. then she started stroking moonstone's delicate white mane.
